TL;DR: It is argued that while the school day imposes serious restrictions, school routines can and should be opportunistically leveraged by designers and by youth and wearable activity tracking devices open some new avenues for opportunistic collection of and reflection on data from theschool day.

TL;DR: In this paper, wearable electrodermal activity sensors and wearable cameras were used to obtain data from two after-school programs at a community Makerspace for adolescent girls (N = 12, 13) using data obtained from these two sources along with daily survey data, and compared what was revealed from these different data sources.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of several geotechnical engineering-related science activities conducted with elementary-school students are reported, including soil permeability, contact stress, soil stratigraphy, shallow and deep foundations, and erosion in rivers.

TL;DR: A new approach for exploring individual participants' engagement in youth maker activities outfitted with wearable first person point-of-view still-image cameras and wrist-based electrodermal sensors indicated that the two participants had both shared and divergent engagement with activities such as soldering, assembling, and programming.

TL;DR: A theoretical framework is provided to characterize how prior experience is used as a resource in data sense-making when the data are about students’ own physical experiences and centralizes and interrogates the work of “remembering” prior experiences and articulates how remembering is involved in interpreting quantified self data.
